For the eighth anniversary of Stellaris, the tutorial assistant VIR will guide you through the game’s universe. This gives you a very cinematic overview of how it has developed over the last few years and what it now has to offer. You will discover a variety of galactic phenomena and entities that demonstrate the deep and strategic complexity of the game. However, it always remained true to the core gameplay: you explore new star systems and mysterious worlds, while at the same time having diplomatic and military interactions with various alien empires. Stellaris was originally released in May 2016.
